When the earth shakes and ice breaks
And fire fights with the snow
In the breeze of the arctic winter
Majestic shadows are walking

Who are they?
Those who want to disturb
The eternal silence
Of this forgotten winter kingdom
Armed with ice swords and granite armour
Their breaths rise snowstorms

Volcano thunders the war rhythm
Firing the fire fanfares
Today the crack of breaking ice flow
Mixes with the hiss of fire snakes

Dauntless warriors of ice and fire
Proud heads reaching the clouds
The wind whipping your wounds
Wounds from ancient battles

Awaken from the deep sleep
You raise your armed hands
Your anger makes the earth shake
Nothing can stop you now

The words spoken
Before the beginning of the universe
Shaped our will and instinct
So the flame will never die down

Giants of the arctic winter
Severe snowstorm tousles their manes
They will fight against the beasts of fire
That have just left the abyss of the earth

If you are to wake up the Gods
Who are sleeping consoled by the web of oblivion
If you are to knock the world off to the abyss
This battle has no end...

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
